Bears mum on severity of Orton's ankle injury

 
One day after leaving the field on a cart, Chicago Bears quarterback Kyle Orton was undergoing more tests on his right ankle to determine the extent of his injury. Orton was injured in the final minute of the first half in Sunday's 27-23 victory over the Detroit Lions, forcing the Bears to turn to former starter Rex Grossman. And Chicago might be without Orton for the next few weeks. "I'm not playing doctor; you shouldn't either," coach Lovie Smith said Monday. (link)
